Memory allocation

      #include <gandalf/common/allocate.h>

Gandalf provides some macros to simplify access to the standard malloc() and realloc() functions. So for instance to allocate an array of a hundred integers you can use

      int *aiArray;

      aiArray = gan_malloc_array ( int, 100 );

instead of the usual

      int *aiArray;

      aiArray = (int *) malloc ( 100*sizeof(int) );
